We demonstrate that the direction of the magnetic field and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction affect quantum teleportation. Additionally, the effect of temperature on the quantum teleportation process is studied. The aim is to teleport a maximally entangled state through a quantum channel based on the Ising model. When the magnetic field is aligned with the Ising model of spins, the entanglement of the channel undergoes a quantum phase transition and cannot sustain entanglement, causing the teleported state to lose its coherence. A magnetic field perpendicular to the Ising model of spins leads to a peak in entanglement for both the channel and the teleported state. The x-directed Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction has a positive effect on the entanglement of the channel but causes decoherence in the teleported state. In contrast, the z-directed Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction introduces a peak in the entanglement of the teleported state.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":499,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Physics","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148173075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduced by Mundarain and Ladrón de Guevara [43], local-available quantum correlations (LAQC) are a type of residual quantum correlation mostly overlooked in the literature. Recently, Bellorin et al. [44, 45] obtained exact analytical results for its measure for general 2-qubit X states. Building on those results, we analyzed the behavior of this measure in a standard quantum correlation swapping (QCS) protocol, focusing on 2-qubit X states as the initial states. As expected, we find that if the initial states are non-classical and the one used for the projective measurement is entangled, the final state will, in general, have non-zero LAQC. Using its properties, we establish the conditions required for the final state in the QCS scheme having a non-null LAQC measure. We illustrate these results by analyzing six relevant families of one-parameter 2-qubit X states. Within those examples, we included mixed states that result in a separable state but a non-zero LAQC measure. We also included a separable quantum-correlated mixed state that remains separable and quantum correlated after the QCS scheme.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":499,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Physics","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148172141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past few years, second-order memristors (SOMs) have become a growing focus of research; however, the development of their corresponding discrete maps remains limited. To address this gap, a novel discrete second-order memristor (SOM) model is proposed and coupled with a sine map, resulting in the construction of a three-dimensional second-order memristive sine hyperchaotic map (SOM-SHM). Numerical investigations using phase portraits, Lyapunov exponent spectra (LEs) and bifurcation diagrams (BDs) show that the proposed system exhibits rich nonlinear dynamics in representative parameter regions, including periodic, chaotic, and hyperchaotic behaviors, together with initial-offset boosting. Numerical simulations and NIST test results indicate that the sequences derived from the proposed map exhibit good statistical randomness under the tested conditions. The map is further implemented on an STM32 hardware platform to validate its digital implementability. Finally, an image encryption example based on the SOM-SHM is constructed, and standard diagnostic evaluations are conducted to illustrate its potential application in information processing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":499,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Physics","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148172132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to systematically investigate the influence of post-deposition thermal treatment on the structural, morphological, optical, and photocatalytic characteristics of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that annealing at 600 °C enhanced crystallinity and increased crystallite size, whereas atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed a uniform, densely packed surface morphology. UV–Vis spectroscopy revealed that, considering all sample sets, the optical band gap gradually narrowed from 3.55 ± 0.05 eV (as-deposited) to 3.45 ± 0.05 eV (800 °C). Photocatalytic performance was evaluated by measuring methylene blue d under UV irradiation, with the 600 °C-annealed film achieving the highest degradation efficiency (~ 78%) owing to its superior structural and morphological features. In contrast, annealing at 800 °C led to microstructural reorganization and texture evolution, which adversely affected the photocatalytic activity despite a further reduction in the optical band gap. These results demonstrate that the annealing temperature is a critical parameter for tuning the performance of CeO₂ thin films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering and provide valuable insights into the rational design of sputter-deposited rare-earth oxide thin films for photocatalytic water purification applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":499,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Physics","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148009196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
